Tapo is the new King
Awesome doorbell camera. The 2k quality is amazing and is just right for a doorbell camera. The settings and ability to establish alert zones so I don’t get a million notifications throughout the day is nice.The speed of getting to the video when someone comes to the door is faster than my old Nest and the fact that I can spend $60 once for a micro SD card and not $80/month for years of looping video history is amazing! I have a 256GB card and I am getting 2 full weeks of history at a time that I can review if needed.The 180° angle camera is a true 180°. I can see clearly both directions out of my front door. The price can’t be beat for how robust this is and it can operate in their app for free without any cloud storage. It was easy to install and the various adapters for positioning the camera at just the right angle was super helpful. It is a tad bulky, but I can live with that since the bulk provides an internal battery that can run for weeks if ever needed (mine is hardwired so the battery backup for a true 24/7 camera is awesome. ) the fact that it isn’t tied to the cloud is nice since it never has to deal with any network reliability. All video is stored on the micro SD card regardless of WiFi connection and once WiFi is back I can review all of the video. App is very simple and easy to use, but doesn’t lack any features.Night video was better than I expected. All around a fabulous camera!

Excellent Video Doorbell with an unmatched battery life!
I’ve replaced my Ring Doorbell with TP-Link D225 to eliminate paying for Ring subscription services. I should have known that it is a superior product just because of the TP-Link brand although I didn’t realize how superior until it was completely installed. It’s a much more sold construction and heavier, super easy to set up, connected to the internet very quickly & strongly. Everything required for installation is included with the doorbell giving you the option of using a slight downward wedge, wedge to the side or just a flat, no wedge mount. I chose the slight downward to allow for easier viewing of packages and found that it still provides plenty of upward space to include complete tall people and higher. The battery is stated to hold charge for approx. 8 months! We’ll see, it does have a larger battery than any other doorbell I researched (including TP-Link’s battery only model). The D225 also provides the option of wiring the unit without the continuous need for the battery. An SD card slot will also receive a 512GB SD card (sold separately) so I always have access to the video. Once connected with Alexa, notifications come through loud and clear when motion is detected at the doorbell. Notifications are also available via messages. The only downside I find is that, when the battery needs recharging, the entire doorbell needs to be brought into the house for charging. The battery inside the doorbell can not be removed. Although, the doorbell is easily released from the mount which makes it easier. All and all, I’m very pleased with the quality of the unit & the quality of the videos that it provides. They are easily downloaded onto your phone & sent to others. The mounting instructions stated to try and keep the unite from direct sun. That was impossible for me, as the early morning sun shines right onto my front door (later NO sun) although once mounted with the downward wedge, I found that there is NO problem with the sun shining right into the lens. TP-Links quality name has shown to be accurate for the D225 as it is with many of their other products. I highly recommend this doorbell. It’s a bit of an initial investment but pays off over time due to NOT needing a subscription to view your videos from anywhere.

Quelle caméra! La qualité d’image est spectaculaire. Mais il faut surtout parler de la grande simplicité d’installation! Wow! Quand j’ai vu le guide de démarrage rapide, je me suis dit, “ouais, pas sûr que ça sera aussi simple…”. Bien oui, c’est tellement simple… Une fois l’application en route sur mon téléphone et la sonnette en mode “ON”, tout se fait pratiquement automatiquement; le plus compliqué sera de retrouver le mot de passe de votre réseau wifi, :-)Ce que j’apprécie le plus, franchement, c’est le fait de pouvoir accueillir mes visiteurs tout simplement en répondant à la sonnerie de mon téléphone. Et mes visiteurs me confirment qu’il comprennent très bien ce que je leur dis: le son est excellent, et c’est la même chose de mon côté. La seule chose qui m’a causé souci fut de trouver où se cache l’option ‘antivol’: il s’agit de l’option qui déclenche une alarme dans le cas où quelqu’un essaierait de partir avec votre sonnette. La documentation en ligne qui accompagne la sonnette indique que cette option se trouve dans le menu “Paramètres”, mais il s’agit d’un autre modèle de sonnette… Dans le cas de cette sonnette-ci, il faut aller dans les paramètres, puis choisir “Sonnette”: vous y trouverez l’option Antivol.

I Highly recommend this product to everyone who planning to buy this, you will be tension free . The product quality performance is best

High quality and high recommended
